Missing files after publish web site from VS2008

Hi.
When I 'Publish web site ' In VS2008, it says "Build succeeded", but when I view the site in FTP there are files missing.

Its very much intermittent and (allways different files). Sometimes all the dll's are missing, sometimes not. usually only about a quarter of the  .aspx files are present.

Facts:
- I have deleted the temporary VS cache files
- It only happens when I deploy over the Internet (WAN) - NOT when publishing to my internal staging server (LAN),
 - I got around this by FTPing the site from the staging server, but its not ideal.

Not much on Google - please help!

Hi,
Although I didnt actually stop the site, I will try this next time I try to upload.
It took me 4.5 hours today and 9 attempts, so I dont want to try again unless I need to.

More facts:
- I published yesterday without any problems and I didnt stop it then.
- There is nobody using the site yet.
- Also, the App_Offline.htm already gets created by VS when I publish.
- During my 9 attempts today I was manually deleting ALL the files by FTP before publishing.

You probably noticed I responded with my gjok account. This is my personal account and the Astromex is for Work. Sorry if that was confusing!
Thanks - I tried it and it seemed to work. Intermittent problems are the worst kind.
That last point seems scary... You accepted the question, you mean you got it resolved? tx for the pintes, but sounds like you're still having a problem.

(we cross-posted, seemed that I just missed you). Glad it works now. Iirc, the app_offline.htm is not uploaded timely as you cannot control the order in which things are uploaded by Publish...
